Battling Busyness & Distraction in Motherhood

As moms, we ALL know what it feels like to be busy, hurried and distracted. Busyness is famous for tempting us to forget what matters most of all! You don’t need to do it all perfectly: God is not asking you to keep up with the pace of the world. He is asking you to walk at his pace and in his peace.

Battling lies with the truth:

Lie: “My value = my productivity.”
Truth: Your identity is received, not achieved (John 1:12; Ephesians 2:8–10).

Lie: “If I don’t do it, it won’t get done.”
Truth: God is the primary Worker; we join Him (Psalm 127:1–2).

Lie: “Hurry is holy because it’s for church/family.”
Truth: Love requires unhurried presence (1 Corinthians 13:4; Dallas Willard: “Ruthlessly eliminate hurry”).

Lie: “Attention is cheap; I can multitask my soul.”
Truth: We become what we behold (2 Corinthians 3:18)

Lie: “Rest comes after I finish everything.”
Truth: Sabbath is a gift that enables good work (Genesis 2:2–3; Mark 2:27).
